Hi all, I discovered a bit of unclean behavior today while listing a large number of files that were too wide for my terminal window (each line wrapped to the next line as expected).
In the problem case, the very top line of the save buffer contained the wrapped end of the top line rather than the start of a line, which has a 50/50 change of happening (depending on save buffer size and window height). Seeing the end remnant of the first line was somewhat expected when the lines wrapped, but the real issue showed up when I made the terminal window wider to allow the lines to re-wrap (unwrap in this case). That end remnant of the first line in the save buffer remained, so scrolling back to the top showed something like: ...#1 Normal line...............#2 Normal line...............#3 Normal line...............#4 (etc.) In other words, the re-wrap code treated that first end-remnant of a line as a regular full line, even though it was the end of a line. I believe the correct behavior would be to throw away any partial line (that is missing its beginning) at the top of the save buffer when doing the re-wrap. It would be better to lose this line off the top than to keep its end-remnant. Another solution would be simply to not save partial lines in the save buffer at all (this might be even more clean). I have just started looking at the code, and I am glad to make a patch once I comprehend what it is doing, but perhaps one of you knows how to fix this off the bat.
